Projects

M-TECH PROJECT DETAILS

During Die casting process, the cast component sticks to the mould due to chemical interaction or mechanical interaction. To remove cast component the device called die adhesion testing rig was fabricated. And to calculate the amount of force required to eject the component.

● Die Adhesion Test and Force Measurement During Cast Ejection.

● Aluminum melt quality Assessment.

● Die Soldering Experiment

● Effect Of Flux in Melting Using Cooling Curve Analysis.
